<h1>Consortium to Deliver L4 Autonomous Bus Pilot for Three Years, Tech Provider Responsible for System Delivery and Performance</h1> A national transport authority awarded a contract to a consortium of a technology provider, a vehicle manufacturer and a local partner to operate an L4 autonomous public bus pilot on two city routes, beginning mid-2026 for an initial three-year term. The technology provider will supply L4 full-stack R&D, integrated sensors (lidar, radar, cameras), fleet management and remote-operation systems and is contractually responsible for system delivery and deployment performance. The pilot integrates autonomous buses into daily public transport, with obligations to meet safety, reliability and operational standards and to coordinate with local stakeholders for ongoing testing and commercial rollout.
